How to Use Wordpress Plugins
In our Wordpress Hosting article series we gave you instructions to set up and customize your Wordpress Blog Site. In this article we will provide you with an overview of what Wordpress Plugins are, how to install them, how they work and what you can do with their help.
Wordpress Plugins are basically programs that extend the functionality of Wordpress in one way or another. There are countless plugins for Wordpress in many categories. Most of them are free. Wordpress comes with a couple of plugins installed by default, the Akismet plugin is actually useful which checks comments if they look like spam.
To install additional plugins click ‘Add New’ unders the Plugins section in your Wordpress admin panel. Just like with themes, you can search by keyword, browse the most recent or popular plugins, or you can upload your own plugin if you purchased or downloaded it from somewhere. When you installed a plugin that you like, go and check its settings. Most plugins will not do anything useful without prior configuration.
Depending on the plugin, you may need to call it from your theme, install it as a widget or the plugin will simply work behind the scenes. Make sure you read the documentation of the plugin you want to use.
Finally let us suggest you a couple of plugins that you most likely will find useful.
- All in One SEO Plugin: As its name suggests it helps with optimizing your site for search engines. The plugins aims to optimize title tags and the content of your site so that search engines will rank your site higher.
- Contact Form 7: Our favorite out of the many contact form plugins. Very easy to configure and works great. Since most websites have a Contact Us page, you should consider setting up one on your site. With this plugin you can do it in minutes.
- Yet Another Related Posts Plugin: There are many plugins that lets you easily show related Posts at the end of your Posts. This plugin is particularly useful if you have a large number of posts. It will look up posts based on a number of criteria.
